Each night Elliot and Gavin write in their prayer journals and reflect upon who and what they are thankful for and/or want to lift up in prayer. Tonight while praying for "our little brother in Moldova," Elliot said, "Let's name him Zachary. If we get two brothers, we can have a George, too!" I reminded him that we had two in our home with the name George. Gavin suggested Zick...Zick and Zach! Upon further discussion, Elliot decided on Zach and Spencer. He wrote the following on a sheet of paper and presented it to me:
Elliot
Zach
Spencer
Gavin
4 brothers
Lord, please have Your hand in even the naming of our son or sons. You already know who they are and what we should call them. Help them to always know they were meant to be part of our family. That is who You made them to be. Regardless of the first names we give them, they will be Hamptons. Thank you for sending them to us!
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26
